    Hi there,
    
    What about SYBASE, are we supporting it in Cluster NT v 1.1?
    
    Thanks in advance

693.1No special SYBASE failover DLLDECWET::CAPPELLOFMy other brain is a polymerMon Mar 17 1997 21:002
    We did not do anything to support SYBASE in Digital Clusters for
    Windows NT V1.1.  Do you have a customer demand?

Sybase should be able to be failed over via a script.  Although not officially supported,
it was demonstrated at the last comdex.  When writing the script keep in mind that the
"failover manager" does not have rights to interact with the desktop.  So if the Sybase 
application requires this, you will need to write the script so that a service like srvany 
actually starts the .bat file.
693.31.1 EMC and SybaseIJSAPL::utoras-198-48-158.uto.dec.com::WorkBenchUserTue Apr 08 1997 20:0610
Our customer wants and SYBASE in the Netherlands wants to know everything 
about 1.1. 
They bought 1.1 with ALPHA's and EMC"2 storage. Works great.! No support but 
EMC convinced them.

Now Sybase is making an application and also works with us to know more.
cheers

693.4Cluster engineering has not tried SybaseDECWET::CAPPELLOFMy other brain is a polymerTue Apr 08 1997 23:377
    I'm glad the EMC storage works for your customer.  We certainly don't
    support it!
    
    We don't know much about Sybase.  It might be possible to set up a
    Digital NT Cluster to start/stop the Sybase service during a failover
    using the failover script capability.  Maybe someone else in the world
    has tried it?
